As the first step in helping you solve this issue, please go back and read the section entitled “Upgrading the Theme files” in the first post of this thread and verify that you have taken the proper steps.

It sounds to me like your bp-core-templatetags.php file isn’t in the right place, or isn’t the correct version. That’s where those functions you mentioned above reside, and they’re responsible for hiding the bars if you’re viewing the directory. Either that, or your $bp->is_directory variable isn’t getting set, both of which are indications of an incomplete upgrade process.

John, thanks for trying to help, I didn’t upgrade buddy press, well I did, but then just started from scratch with fresh install of wordpressmu 2.7.1 and installed buddypress and then installed theme, upgraded theme by modifying all the files directed to.

That’s correct, someone else made the theme that i’m using. I’ve run into the same issue when I tried to customize my own theme where the user bar and options bar are on members pages that they’re not on the bp theme and I haven’t been able to figure out what is causing it.

I am wondering why the ‘Activity’, ‘Profile’, ‘Wire’, and ‘Friends’ items do not work from the optionsbar?”

response, “It looks like the options bar is showing up on the directory pages when it shouldn’t – most likely because I forgot to add a hide function. All the other pages are working fine. I will update this.”

For the pages i’m referring to i have the same problem, the options bar that shows up on these pages (not user bars links to same sections) links go to “The page you were looking for was not found.”

Googling around because I’m having the same issue. Only I’m running bpmember that comes packaged with buddypress and making basic css modifications. On the directories, the links and functionality of the bars don’t appear, but the divs do.

BP-member-theme is made so that there are two menues at the left side. Even the graphic hints at that since there are two “hardcoded” grey backgrounds at the far left. If you’d remove the userbar & optionsbar there would still be two grey areas there.

I’m modifying the bp-member-theme and putting horizontal navigation on my BP webite. When doing it that way you could do a workaround to not show the userbar/optionsbar at some webpages. You could do it if you take away the call for nav-bar in the header.php. Then you’d have to add that call to all pages you want the userbar/optionsbar to appear.

But as far as BP-member theme goes you’d have to do something about those grey background-areas if you remove the userbar/optionsbar.
